[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 1675886, member: 10284"] Unless I'm mistaken, Remington put 12 twist barrel on their 308 varmint rifles including my 308 VLS. My rifle is capable of 5 shot 1/2" groups and less with 168gr and lighter bullets. I have never been able to get heavier bullets to shoot these size groups. Anything heavier and the groups would open to .75-1.00. Even Berger's twist calculator says 185 VLDs are marginally stable with a 12 twist. Just something to think about when you order bullets. Personally, I'd go with 168's or lighter, whatever suits your need. And btw, 165's @2700fps are perfectly capable of a 600 yard shot on deer. [/QUOTE]
